2000trees Festival
2000trees is a green and ethical music festival, held at Upcote Farm, Withington, near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. It offers a diverse selection of more than 50 acts, from rock to hip hop, indie to folk, metal to acoustic acts and pop to dance DJs.
It was started by a group of six friends in 2007, who grew tired of being made to pay so much at other festivals to see the bands they love. They decided to create a value for money, ethical alternative, which also raises awareness of environmental concerns.
A green festival. An ethical festival. A music festival.For us, 2000trees is all about achieving a friendly and intimate festival experience
[http://www.twothousandtreesfestival.co.uk (Feb 2008)] They also have a comprehensive environmental policy which includes electricity generated with locally sourced biofuel, onsite recycling (66 per cent in 2007) and locally sourced food and drink where possible.
Currently, the festival consists of three stages
-The Tree House (main stage)
-Leaf Lounge (acoustic stage)
-The Greenhouse (small dj 'shed')
Plans for the 2008 festival are under way; set to take place on the 11th and 12th of July and an initial line-up has been announced including headliners Reuben (Friday) and Art Brut (Saturday)
